 Icsterday the Senate refused to concur in the House amendment striking out the clause in the free pass bill making it apply to citizens It is to be hoped the lIonse will stand firm for the constitution Those obstreperous Senators will be remembered by the press and people.

Pensions.

About two weeks since Congress passed the Mexican pension bill, which has been strongly champi- oned by Southern democrats for many years, as most of the soldiers in that war were from this section.
 At the same time of the passage of the Mexican pension bill, a bill pensioning, at SIP per month, all indigent ex-soldiers not able to earn a livelihood, who served in any war, was rushed through both houses. It seems democratsof the South and West voted for this lat. ter bill in order to get the former.
 It is stated this last pension bill, (which will include all soldiers O: the late war, who served on the Union side, and are unable to earn living, will be entitled to pen sion, will drain the National treas ury of millions of dollars annual ly. If this is true, a grave CT. TOT was committed, which is mex, cusable. We hope the President will veto both bills, rather than let this wholesale extravaganza take place. It is high time Il halt was called in this pension business, any way. Already ninety millions go to wounded Union soldiers of the late war, annually. What say our representatives

The suit against Churchill and sureties on his bond, in his nOtor- ious dedication. ended Friday, and the Supreme Court of the State decided that his sureties were liable for S26,0OO, and against T. J. Churchill for Sl15,000. The reason his sureties got off so light was because of the erasure of two names from the bond in his first and third terms as State Treasurer. Juu ges Hill, Smoote, of Prescott, and Bum, of Camden, sat in this ease aud delivered the opinion Here is where Hon. A. II. Gar land, the protound lawyer, as Gov ernor, lost the State the immense sum of S115,O00 by approvin g worthless bonds, and the strange part of the business is that Mir. Garland was one of the principal bondsmen, during ChurchilFs first term, when the principal shortage tS64, ,OOW occurred. The Gazette of Sunday states that the costs in the investigation and suit, will absorb all of the S26,OOO recovered. so the State is loser by Churchill, Garland X Co.,, in reality, to the extent ot Sl15,0OO.

I} is said that duli times are not known by the agents for the great publishing house of George Stm, son x Co.,. of Portland. Maine. The reason of this exceptional success is found iu the fact that they always give the public that which is keenly appreciated and at prices that all can afford. At prdsent we understand, their agents are doing wonderfully well on several new lines. They need many moro agents in all parts of the country. Those who need profitable work should apply at once. Women do as well as men. Experience is not necessary, for Messrs. Stinson X Co.,, undertake to show all who are willing to work, not hard bnt earnestly, the path to large success. It should be remembered that no agent can do a handsome business without being away from home over night. Another advantage costs nOth

Several protests against its approval have been handed in by number ofrailway companies An opinion has been expressed by q number of eminent attorneys that the law cannot stand the-test of judicial investigation, claiming that it is un. constitutional. There is also . wide difference of opinion, should it be de clared constitutional, whether it wil prove beneficial or otherwise.

The land beom in the southern coun- ties of California is still on the increase and the energetic people of that section are reaping their reward, after many years of patient waiting The people of Cotton and vicinity are largely ad- vertising their lands and resources, free copies of the Semi Tropic, .their local paper, being distributed on all trains passing that point.
 This boom is of vast importance to the county of Yuma, for sooner or lat CT it is bound to react, if indeed the reaction is not already setting in, and land and home seekers will have, and are having their attention directed to the large bodies of productive land bordering upon the Gila river in this county. Already, numerous parties from the City of the Angels have ta- ken up land in the Antelope valley, and soon the lands of that valley, like its neighbor, the Mohawk valley, will all be entered upon.
 The Mohawk Canal Company has about completed the survey of their ditch, and in the course of week or 70, will be ready to advertise and let the contract for excavating the same. The energetic Superintendent, H. w. Blaisdsll, is uhtiring in his efforts to complete the canal and have the water flowing through it's entire course by the end of July next. Backed, as the Company is, with ready cash to pay for their work, aud with Blaisdell at the wheel, there are no doubts but that the object will be accomplished.
 When the Mohawk canal is com plsted there will bs opened up for cul hyatlon tract of land second to none on the coast, for beauty and produc- tiveness, and California will find q more formidable rival than Spain, in the growth of the grape and in the manufacture of raisins, and we will be supplying the Californians with our luscious fruit, at the least calculation, six weeks before the ripening of their s~n fruits.
 Thc fact of the early ripening of our fruits is matter of the greatest importance and largely enhances the value of our lands, and we can safely predict that land in the Mohawk val ley will be selling at from fifty to one hundred dollars per acre.

In order te provsthat Los; Angeles county, with her raw land selling at $l0o to $250 per acre, is good poor mans country, the Herald mentions the arrival in that city few days ago, of two car loads of onions which had been imported from Spain, and sd
 vises men of small means to invest in Los Angeles county land and engage in onion raising. It seems to us that the man wko pays as high as $lo0 per acre for land to raise onions on will find himself badly in the rear, and more so the longer he continues the experiment. As matter of fact, Yuma county, Arizona, is now the best poor mans country in semi-tropic- al America. There is . large area of irrigable land that will raise not only onions and other vegetables to perfec tion, but grain aid fruits as well. And thls land may yet be had at gov. ernment price. The climate for nine months of the year is one unparalleled season of balmy mildnesS. For three months, it is true, the weather is warm,-just the kind of weather nsc- essary fer the early ripening of fruits, the most successful curing of raisins, and for citrus fruits. We are not put to the expense of shipping our grapes to the Colorado or Mojavs desert to dry them. If . man of moderate means wants l60 acres of rich land at government price, upon which he can raise either onions or orangeh Yuma county can accommodate hin.

There are now in Yuma county nine irrigating canals, completed and in course of completion, that will furnish an abundant supply for an aggregate of l50, 900 acres of land. This land is all of the very richest and produces grain and fruits to perfection. Other irrigating schemes are in contsmpla tion and the time is not far distant when large part of the unoccupied area of this county will be devoted to the production of valuable crops of various kinds.

Now that tree planting is beginning to receive an impetus in this county, it is well to remark that the utmost care should be taken in the imperta- tiOn of trees and shrubbery. It is a wsllkRown fact that in many portions of California fruit trees, shrubbery aud plants are literally alive with the red and the white scale. While this climate is not congenial to those pests, it is not desirable that they should be imported. Therefore be careful when ordering trees and vines.

Our old time friend, Bro. Baker, of the Santa Ana, Cal, Standard, gets off the following romantic efuslOR in com msnting upon statistical editorial in late number of the SETTNEL:
 "Why, bless our ineredulous soul, when we were in Yuma in August 1883, it was so hot that they caught fresh fish from the Colorado river ready cooked. Passengers on the train trav- eled in refrigerator cars and the loco moti,es were packed in ice to keep them from melting down while taking water. We didn't inquire where the ice came from but suppose it was man. ufactured by q spontaneous steam pro cess, while the river was boiling. Talk to us about raising fine fruit in Yuma 1! We've been there"
 Yes, we have heard of your visit to this place. It is part of the receut history of the town, and strangers are even uOw entertained by humorous ac- counts of the many imaginary wonders you were made to believe. Ceoked fsh fromths Colorado were but small fry to the .gudseon from Santa Ana. He has grown wiser since, and hard to ca ,ch. Ice is not manufactured in Yuma. When a few pounds are need ed for private consumption, we seize upon some individual with as cold a bhsek az that of our friend and plunge his head into a bucket of water. We raise fruit however, semi-tropical and otherwise, and raise them early. There are some trees in Yuma that were i'm ported frem Santa Ana, but they were backward about producing as it took \ year and half to thaW the frost out of them.
 Serleuslp, however, just such jokes as contained in the above clipping, for long time engendered and sustained belief in the minds of half the peo- pie of the United States that this eli mate was something almost impossible to endure, and yet there is none more perfect. Derby led off in his story of the soldier that, dying in Yuma, came back from Hades for his blankets, and ne was followed by 6 multitude of scribblers; including at last, our friend who wrote the above, who, however came too late. The inherent quality of the climate has at last advertised
